For those who want plenty of room - let us present the Åreskutan XL! A roof tent for up to five people, perfect option for large families.
Åreskutan XL is a full two meters wide. Thanks to the width, you can choose to sleep both lengthwise and crosswise inside the roof tent.
In the roof tent are two mattresses of 100x235 centimeters each (thickness: 8 cm). If you want, you can put up a wall and suddenly you have two rooms each with an entrance and two telescopic ladders.
To mount the Åreskutan XL on your car, the car roof must have an approved maximum load of at least 100 kilos. We also recommend using 3-4 roof racks.
• Extra thick mattress of 8 centimeters with removable and washable mattress cover.
• Moisture protection in PVC along the sides of the mattress that protects any condensation from penetrating.
• Large windows in three directions provide fantastic views and really good ventilation. Choose to close completely for blackout or to use the mosquito net.
• Honeycomb floor, robust and impact resistant. The hardest type of floor used for roof tents.
• Included shoe and storage bags.
• Buckle straps with metal buckles, a more durable alternative to Velcro straps that are common on roof tents.
• Sunroof to be able to look up at the starry sky.
• Strong transport protection in PVC protects the tent against rain and dirt when it is folded.
• Sleeping bags and pillows can be left in the tent when folded.
• Window protection can be set up both with window sticks or rolled up and attached above the window for a better view.
• Straps to roll up and secure the transport cover.
• Flexible mounting. The roof tent can be mounted either with an entrance on the side of the car or behind the car.
• Two additional ventilation openings for improved air flow.
• Double-stitched and taped seams.
• Roof fabric that provides extra rain protection plus protects the tent fabric from the sun's UV rays.
• Strap to attach the ladder to the base plate in the unfolded position, which gives more space in the awning if you buy it.
To mount the Åreskutan, your roof rails and car roof must have an approved maximum load of at least 75 kilos.
The roof rails must have at least 72 centimeters of "clean rail", i.e. without protruding plastic parts from the feet.
We recommend that you use the roof rails where the beam is on top of the feet and that you place the roof rails at least 80 centimeters apart.

Good to think about when buying a roof tent for five people
If you are looking for a roof tent for 5 people, the Åreskutan XL is a good option. The reason it fits five people well is that it is a full 2 meters wide and 240 centimeters long. This means that you can sleep both lengthwise and across the roof tent.
Lowest approved maximum load for the car roof
When you are considering a roof tent for 5 people, it is important that you check that your car is approved for the weight.
Roof tents for five people usually weigh more than other roof tents, both because of their size and the fact that in some cases, like our Åreskutan XL roof tent, they have an extra ladder.
To mount a roof tent for five people, you need a car whose maximum load on the roof is at least 100 kilos.
We also recommend using three or four roof racks on your car to distribute the heavier weight of a five-person roof tent.
Also check what the roof tent's maximum load is. If you are five adults, it is not certain that you will fit inside it. Our five-man roof tent Åreskutan XL has an approved maximum load of 350 kilos.
Rooftop tent for five people, three of whom are children
If some of those who will sleep up in the roof tent are children, it can also be good to sleep in our Åreskutan four-person. This roof tent has a mattress that measures 180x240 centimeters. Thanks to the length of the mattress, for example, one or two children can lie crosswise at the foot end.
Alternative to buying a roof tent for five people
Another option if you're looking for a five-person roof top tent, but don't have a car that can handle the weight, is to buy a three- or four-person roof top tent and purchase an awning.
With the awning mounted, you get two extra sleeping places on the ground in the awning.
